	BARON, A. Le Naufrage De La Meduse, Juiliet 1816. Paris, France, Librairie Nationale, D'education et De Recreation.. 70 pages; 4 illustrations; bound in decorative red cloth binding with gilt design. Medusa was an armed 'en flute' used to ferry officials (some 400 people) to Senegal under the command of Viscount de Chamareys in 1816. Due to the incompetence of the captain the ship wrecked on the Bank of Arguin with the ship a total loss. In a panic a raft was poorly constucted and the Medusa's boats attempted to tow the raft, but cut it lose leaving 147 people to fend for themselves with only liquor to drink. Only 15 people survived after ten day when rescued and when De Chamareys attempted to salvage the Medusa itself he found 3 still alive of the 17 left behind 54 days before. After a government 'whitewash' the surgeon and another crew member published an account telling the truth of incompetence and cannibalism. Theodore Gericault's 'Le Radeau de la Meduse' painting made the story even more famous. In the back of a sailor's mind this was their nightmare come true. Seems to be a school text of some type.

	BARON, A. Le Naufrage De La Meduse, Juiliet 1816. Paris, France, Librairie Nationale, D'education et De Recreation.. 70 pages; 4 illustrations; bound in decorative red cloth binding with gilt design. Medusa was an armed 'en flute' used to ferry officials (some 400 people) to Senegal under the command of Viscount de Chamareys in 1816. Due to the incompetence of the captain the ship wrecked on the Bank of Arguin with the ship a total loss. In a panic a raft was poorly constucted and the Medusa's boats attempted to tow the raft, but cut it lose leaving 147 people to fend for themselves with only liquor to drink. Only 15 people survived after ten day when rescued and when De Chamareys attempted to salvage the Medusa itself he found 3 still alive of the 17 left behind 54 days before. After a government 'whitewash' the surgeon and another crew member published an account telling the truth of incompetence and cannibalism. Theodore Gericault's 'Le Radeau de la Meduse' painting made the story even more famous. In the back of a sailor's mind this was their nightmare come true. Seems to be a school text of some type. A clean copy inside and outside. Very Good. USD 37.50 [Appr.: EURO 25.25 \| £UK 22.75 \| JP¥ 3310] Book number: 11299 Click here to order or inquire at Barry Cassidy Rare Books.
